federal challenges to doj program reveal America’s newest pastime: suing the people suing you
In a twist that would make a circus lawyer blush, the Department of Justice’s latest program—designed to streamline federal oversight—has sparked a chain reaction of lawsuits so meta that legal scholars are calling it “the ouroboros of litigation.” The irony? The program was supposed to reduce federal challenges. Instead, it’s now the subject of federal challenges from states claiming the DOJ is overstepping, while the DOJ countersues for obstruction. The funny side? Pundits are joking that the only winner so far is the printer cartridge industry, as briefs pile up faster than memes of a confused SpongeBob.
